8 This module determines the thread library of the system.
15 This module defines the following :prop_tgt:`IMPORTED` target:
18 The thread library, if found.
23 The following variables are set:
26 If a supported thread library was found.
27 ``CMAKE_THREAD_LIBS_INIT``
28 The thread library to use. This may be empty if the thread functions
29 are provided by the system libraries and no special flags are needed
31 ``CMAKE_USE_WIN32_THREADS_INIT``
32 If the found thread library is the win32 one.
33 ``CMAKE_USE_PTHREADS_INIT``
34 If the found thread library is pthread compatible.
35 ``CMAKE_HP_PTHREADS_INIT``
36 If the found thread library is the HP thread library.
38 Variables Affecting Behavior
39 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
41 .. variable:: THREADS_PREFER_PTHREAD_FLAG
45 If the use of the -pthread compiler and linker flag is preferred then
46 the caller can set this variable to TRUE. The compiler flag can only be
47 used with the imported target. Use of both the imported target as well
48 as this switch is highly recommended for new code.
50 This variable has no effect if the system libraries provide the
51 thread functions, i.e. when ``CMAKE_THREAD_LIBS_INIT`` will be empty.
